Haylie never expected her life to take a supernatural turn. One ordinary night out with her best friend became the catalyst for everything to change. That was the night she met Liam—a man unlike anyone she'd ever known.

Haylie was drawn to Liam's charm, but she couldn’t have guessed the secret he carried: he was a wolf shifter. Her world unraveled further when she discovered the truth about her own family. The mother she lost at just five years old had also possessed a wolf side, a heritage Haylie had never imagined. Now, the man she was falling in love with and her father were both connected to a hidden world she barely understood.

As Haylie delved deeper into this mysterious legacy, a sinister twist awaited her. Melody, a wicked and vengeful rival, ended Haylie’s life in a treacherous betrayal and took over her identity. Trapped in limbo, Haylie's spirit lingered, tethered to the one person who could save her—Liam.

Fate would have to work its magic to reunite Haylie with the man she loved and to give her the chance to reclaim her life. But time was running out, and the battle for her soul had only just begun.

Fated to a human

After supper, Haylie and I cleaned the kitchen together. I loved how easily we worked as a team, sharing the load and enjoying each other's company. That's one of the things I love most about Haylie—she's so down-to-earth.

McKayla was nearly asleep in her chair by the time we finished cleaning, and Haylie offered to read her a story and put her to bed while I took a bath. I hesitated at first, but then I thought about how Haylie would soon be a mother herself in just a few months. Maybe she wanted to practice these little moments of care.

While Haylie was in McKayla's room, sitting on the rocking chair and reading to her, I took some time to clean up. I ran a quick bath, shaved, and made sure I looked neat for tomorrow. Once I was done in the bathroom, I headed to our room, grabbed some clean sweatpants and a loose black shirt, and started to get dressed.
